 |
There is a black terror that amasses great authority in the farthest reaches of Ravenloft¸ quietly insinuating its sway upon the land like a creeping poison: Its name is lich.
Until now¸ vampires have been the undisputed masters of darkness¸ but the sheer genius of the lich (coupled with its immortal quest for ever more powerful magic) has proven to be a malevolent threat to the cause of Goodness. Liches were once all-powerful wizards in life¸ yet they have sacrificed everything to leap beyond the bounds of humanity and acquire unspeakable necromantic mastery.
In the face of such might and malice¸ there appears to be but one hope:
Dr. Rudolph Van Richten¸ scholar and bane to all creatures of the night¸ has once again picked up quill and parchment - this time to expose this dreaded monsters darkest secrets! Within these pages the reader will learn of the lichs origins¸ its powers¸ its lair¸ and even its very psychological makeup as well as the keys to a successful hunt and termination. Deadly new minions and unique lich magicks are also brough to the fore.
Take back the night¸ all ye of courageous heart and keen blade! With each chime of the clock¸ the lich seeks to complete another of its diabolical schemes. Unchecked¸ the monster will obliterate the light of day¸ and Ravenloft is already much too dark...
